Routledge. - The Routledge Handbook of Translation Studies

The editors would like to express their gratitude to Rosemary Arrojo, Yves Gambier and Jos Lambert for all the advice provided both at the early stages of this project and at some difficult moments throughout. Our special thanks go to Lawrence Venuti and Kirsten Malmkjr for their constant support and generosity with their time.

Our thanks to the Routledge team, for their confidence in our project, for their kindness and for their help, in particular Louisa Semlyen, Sophie Jaques and Samantha Vale Noya.

We would also like to thank Anna Galceran for her help in the creation of the index.

Finally, this project would not have been completed without the love and support of our families. Carmen thanks Paul, Leila and Anton, and Francesca thanks Jordi, Adri and Emma.

Sometimes personal matters do interfere in academic life. During the period of four years of editing this Handbook , Francesca has gone through a breast cancer process. She wants to thank Carmen for being the best conceivable co-editor during the whole journey.
